Judy’s Book and IntegrityID Team Up to Improve Safety for Service Customers

With IntegrityID Certification, Service Providers Put Customer Safety First!

SEATTLE, WA – November 29, 2011 – Judy’s Book, the premier Social Search® site that helps consumers get the trusted scoop on local businesses, announced today that it has teamed with IntegrityID to help keep people safe when they search and contract for local services, especially services performed in their home.  Ali Alami, General Manager of Judy’s Book says, “Safety is especially important to our mom and family user base. Judy’s Book customers can now gain an additional level of trust beyond value and quality of service when researching local businesses.”

Judy’s Book Social Search is dedicated to helping consumers make informed decisions about the services and businesses they choose. By offering IntegrityID membership to individuals who provide services, or who work for service related companies, Judy’s Book is helping these individuals demonstrate a commitment to safety, honesty and integrity to their customers.  Judy’s Book will display the IntegrityID badge on the business profile page of businesses that have individuals who are IntegrityID certified.

IntegrityID helps answer some of today’s most concerning questions, “Can I trust somebody I just met online or in person?” or “Can I trust someone I don’t know to enter my home and be around my family?” People can feel safe in knowing that the individual they are working with has passed the rigorous background screen required for IntegrityID certification.

Tom Broetje, President and Founder of CFO2Go Inc. says, “At CFO2Go our people are our product. Our customers need to know that our principals have the experience needed to help insure their business is in sound financial shape. But we also want them to know that we are trustworthy, honest individuals. IntegrityID certification lets us easily demonstrate this to our customers and prospects, and distinguishes us from our competition.”

IntegrityID is leading the way in Internet safety with a unique “screen-in” service.  Rather than screening people out, as in typical background checking, IntegrityID allows people of integrity and honesty to screen themselves in via a rigorous background screen—and members have an easy and credible way to let others know they are safe.

“We are thrilled to announce our alliance with Judy’s Book. IntegrityID certification is valuable both for individuals providing services and for the consumer looking to hire a service provider.  With this alliance we can help consumers make smarter choices when they find and choose service providers through Judy’s Book.” says Joe O’Neill, CEO of IntegrityID.

Service providers can take advantage of Judy’s Book special pricing for IntegrityID membership by visiting www.judysbook.com/IntegrityID.
